always learned willingly. And as one
can see from his deeds, he was a good astronomer
and much loved in Lorraine. For he lived
there most willingly. And some of his beautiful
jewels still remain there, which he gave to the churches,
being a righteous gentleman. In truth he loved
Our Lord above everything else. And he made a great
effort in his time to bring knowledge and scholarship
to France, where they still remain and owe
their prominence to his prowess. This was well known to
the kings who came after him. For
he made science and scholarship victorious in Paris for ever.
Now may the All Powerful protect them, and may
the city be maintained forever in them. For if the practice
of learning should leave France, chivalry will follow it,
as it has always done. For it always keeps close to
learning. So let the king of France hold onto it here,
for his honor. For he might well lose his realm if
scholarship were to leave France. For God, who has
advanced and exalted him above all other kings, would
put him in a lower place. And there is in France another
group of people who have come during our time,
and these are the friars minor
